Robbery at COyina.

The store and postofiice at Covina
on Saturday night was the scene of a
burglary. Mr.. Eastman, the propri-
tor of the store and the postmaster,
was following in the swift footsteps of
progress in Azusa, and while having
his establishment painted in first-class
style, unfortunately left front tran
som open for the purpose of ventila-
ton from the base odors of the paint.
A burglar saw in this transom good
opening for young man, and by the
struggling starlight climbed in the
transom and opened the rear doors for
escape. He then took little
money from the till in the store
and entering the rooms of Mr.. East
man, paid his respects to Il fine gold
watch and revolver belonging to the
postmaster, valued at $3.50. The ad-
venturous burglar then departed with
his precious booty to ransack some
other house by the light OF the moon.
The good people of Azusa will give the
burglar warm reception if caught in
midnight marauding in that settle
ment.

A Pcrilous Postponement.

To postpone, when the duty for immedi'
ate action is clear, is always unwise. ks
pecially is il 80 when increasing i'll health
calls for u resort to medication. Diseases Of
the kidneys and bladder are often Of swift
growth-always of fatal tendency If not
com batted mt the outset. We have all-even
those of us who are not remarkably well in
structed-heard something of the danger at
tending Bright's disease, diabetis, and other
diseases OF the kidneys or bladder. Let no
one be foolhardy enough to prOcrastinate If
he perceiyes the renal organs to be inactive.
Hostetter's Stomach Bittcrs are peculiarly
adapted to overcome this inaction, to suffi-
cicntly stimulate, without exciting, the kid
to be preferred to the impure and fiery slim
ulants of commerce, which prove the bane
of unwary persons with tendency to renal
troubles. They are likewise incompatible
for dyspepsia, debility, fever and ague, and
biliOusness.

sundays Accident.

An inquest was held yesterday
on the remains of the un-
known man who was run over by a
switch engine on Sunday night. Coro-
ner Meridith is absent at Santa Bar
bara, and in consequence of his abb
sence Judge fancy held the inquest.
There was but little testimony ad-
duced, as it was impossible to identify
the unfortunate victim. The jury re-
turned a verdict OF accidental death,
exonorating 1.-The railroad company OF
all blame.

TURN 1T TO USEFUL ACCOUNT
A Perpetual Light House for
Nothing.

In a bold bluff on the line of the
Southern Pacific railway between San
Buenaventa and Santa Barbara on the
shore of the ocean, the work of exca-
vation by the railway company truck
a gas spring, which ignited from the
fires of the workmen and ignited the
oil that permeates the mountain. The
workmen buried the spring deep
in the earth which was taken from
the side of the mountain, but this
earth has been SO long gpermeated with
oil which the gas has forced up that it
does not smother the fire, but con-
tinue to slowly burn, n )t o lly the oil
that is in it, but all combustible mat
ter that is contained therein. As a
consequence, the embankment on
which the railway rests is baking,
shrinking and cracking, and will have
to receive immediate attention.
If water should be put on to put out
the fire the water would soften the
bank and it would run off into the
ocean. The earth from the mountain
is too oily to be used as u smotherer,
so there is left the wet, salt sea sand
as remedy. By putting this on in
heavy oveEoating the fire may be
smothered efiectually and the en-
bankment saved. But more valu-
able use can he made of the gas than
to smother it. 1t would cost but little
to sink well or Il series of wells to a
moderate depth, and by conducting
the gas into an upright pipe like the
iron electric light, of 100 feet or more
and use it at a lighthouse for the Car
penteria coast. The light would be
perpetual and need no lighthouse
keeper. Colored glass could be placed
around it so that mariners sailing off
San Buenaventura, Santa Barbara or
Carpenteria could use it as valuable
guide. The cost would be small and
the service invaluable. At present,
this valuable element is going to
waste, besides being a nuisance. The
attention of the Lighthouse Board is
called to the matter.
